coffee table queries

what's your coffee table doin'? if it's doin' what mine's doin' it holding a lot of books and a few pretty little things like some west elm marble tear drop candles and a black and gold bowl from target that i love and only cost me about 2 dollars b/c it was on clearance. i am always drawn to coffee tablescapes. i think it may have something to do with the way i am also drawn to open shelving and seeing stacks of pretty dishes piled on top of each other...it's a rainman sensibility. it might be the need to have things organized and neat. i mean if i walked in to your house and your coffee table was in disarray or just out of whack design wise my inner rainman would more than likely organize it for you without really knowing i was doing it. so. what IS your coffee table doin'?
